General American Investors Inc stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 18, 2024)

GAM Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The General American Investors Inc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $45.35 and $45.57. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, April 01, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.78%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, December 08, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 19th we expect General American Investors Inc to open at $44.88, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $44.33 and $45.33, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.495 (+/-1.10%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $44.99 (0.36%) than the support at $43.72 (2.48%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
